I agree with/already use many of the tips already listed. One I haven't seen yet: I think of certain foods as 'heart medicine'. Left to my own devices I might want to eat more than 1 oz of almonds, but since I consider 1 oz. (24) almonds to be part of my vitamin E & 'good fats' ration for the day, I think of it as 'heart medicine'. Since I have no desire to eat more 'heart medicine' than I need every day, it's pretty easy to count out my 24 almonds, eat 'em and get on to the next thing on my to-do list. Worth trying if you're having a problem limiting yourself with nuts or any other food you should only eat in moderation.
